Expert Stairlift Installation in Peachtree Corners, GA

A straight stairlift install in Peachtree Corners takes about 3 hours from arrival to cleanup. Curved lifts take 4 to 6 hours depending on the number of bends. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads — no drywall work, no rewiring, no structural changes. The lift plugs into a standard wall outlet near the stairs. Most Peachtree Corners installs happen the same week as the assessment, often within 48 hours.

No. Stairlifts are classified as non-structural home modifications under Gwinnett County code. They don't alter the staircase, need no electrical permit (they plug into a standard 120V outlet), and don't require HOA approval under the federal Fair Housing Act. If your HOA has questions, we provide a compliance letter. No homeowner in Peachtree Corners has ever needed a permit for one of our installations.

Yes. Many homes in Spalding Corners and the older sections of Peachtree Station have staircases under 32 inches wide. Our standard straight lift needs just 28 inches of clearance with the seat folded. The rail sits on the tread edge, not the wall side, so even tight stairwells work. We've installed lifts on 30-inch-wide staircases in 1970s split-levels throughout Peachtree Corners. The seat flips up when not in use, leaving the stairs fully walkable.

The rail bolts to the stair treads — not the wall — so the drywall is never touched. Each bracket leaves two small bolt holes in the tread. If the lift is ever removed, those can be filled with wood putty and refinished. The lift leaves no marks on walls, banisters, or trim. Most Peachtree Corners homeowners keep the lift as a permanent feature; it can add resale value in a city where aging-in-place modifications are increasingly expected.

We offer financing starting at $79/month with approved credit. Most Peachtree Corners families choose a 24- or 36-month term, with no prepayment penalty. We also help you apply for the Georgia EDWP waiver ($10,000 lifetime cap for home modifications), the Gwinnett County Older Adult Home Modification Program, VA HISA grants for veterans ($6,800 service-connected), and USDA Section 504 grants for very-low-income seniors. The funding paperwork takes about 20 minutes at the assessment.

Yes — through the HISA grant. Service-connected veterans qualify for up to $6,800 toward a stairlift; non-service-connected veterans up to $2,000. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. Peachtree Corners veterans can file through the Lawrenceville VA Clinic at 455 Philip Blvd (about 10 miles east) or the Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center at 1670 Clairmont Road in Decatur (about 12 miles south). The application needs a medical-necessity statement from your VA primary care provider. We help complete both forms at the assessment.

The Georgia Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP) covers home modifications — including stairlifts — for Medicaid-eligible seniors and adults with disabilities who would otherwise need nursing-home-level care. It provides up to a $10,000 lifetime cap for home modifications. To qualify, you must be 65 or older (or have a physical disability), be enrolled in Georgia Medicaid, and meet income and asset limits. The application goes through your county's Area Agency on Aging; we can connect you with a Gwinnett County care coordinator to start the review.

Several. The USDA Section 504 Home Repair program offers grants up to $10,000 for very-low-income seniors aged 62+ in Peachtree Corners to remove safety hazards — stairlifts qualify. The Gwinnett Housing Corporation's Older Adult Home Modification Program in Norcross covers approved modifications at no cost for qualifying homeowners and renters 62+. Some long-term-care insurance policies also cover stairlifts. We review every applicable program at your free assessment and help you file. Most families combine two sources — for example a HISA grant plus financing.
